“祖本“探讨的演变与错位:<<西游记>>版本问题世纪回眸之一

延续几近一个世纪的有关《西游记》“祖本”问题的探讨和论争,堪称异说纷呈,宏论选出。一言以蔽之,成果应予肯定,问题不容忽视。今作必要回顾和反思,以促进新世纪中更好发展。 一 谈论《西游记》“祖本”探讨源头时期的情况,首先应该介绍的当然是鲁迅先生。不过,鲁迅先生并非“祖本”一词的首倡者。他只是在１９２５年出版的《中国小说史略·明之神魔小说》一节中,对吴承恩百回本《西游记》①和简本《西游记传》②的承传关系作具体分析时,指出：“一百回本《西游记》,盖出于四十一回本《西游记传》之后”,“《西游记》全书次第,…

镇海老屋

我在梦里见过我祖居地宁波镇海的老屋. 我并不出生在镇海,中年以前也无缘面识我父亲出生的地方.像我这样在户口簿的籍贯栏目里填甲地,而在出生栏里却填乙地的人,如今是越来越多了.比如我就生于上海,我的儿子北上生在了鞍山,到我孙子已生在了北京.报户口的时候,我儿子不假思索就给孩子写下籍贯"宁波"两字,我看了直发愣.

风雨乔家

在一块贫瘠的土地上，富有如何保护自己的财富，确乎是一道难题。最容易想到的办法，就是盖起一座牢固的监狱，把自己连同堆成山的白银一起关起来，就像把美女锁于深闺，把尸体埋入土中，于隔绝中获取永恒的安全。砖墙的高度似乎与安全的程度有关，所以尽管山西民居以平房为主，但乔家大院的院墙还是有了夸张的高度。

一栋待售的住宅

这是发生在英国的一个真实的故事。有位孤独的老人,无儿无女,又体弱多病,他决定搬到养老院去。老人宣布出售他漂亮的住宅。购买者闻讯蜂拥而至。住宅底价8万英镑,但人们很快就将它炒到10万英镑了。价钱还在不断攀升。老人深陷在沙发里,满目忧郁。是的,要不是自己的健康状况不好,他是不会买掉这栋陪他度过大半生的住宅的。一个衣着朴素的青年来到老人跟前,弯下腰,低声说:“先生,我也非常想买这栋住宅,可我只有1万英镑。”“但是,它的底价是8万英镑,”老人淡淡地说道,“现在它已升到10万英镑了。”青年并不沮丧,真诚地说,“如果您把住宅卖给我…     

Intruders: New Neighbors in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and The Hundred-Foot Journey

Conflicts over territory are about the power to establish dominant cultures in territories and are often accompanied by cultural claims to legitimacy by each side. The cultural claims, or ideologies, are often expressed in terms of “homeland” dwellers versus “intruders.” Two recent movies, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and The Hundred-Foot Journey, depict such conflicts. They refer to novel groups in the depictions, but they follow the pattern of earlier movies, such as Broken Arrow. Novel groups are required because the earlier examples of despised alien cultures no longer convey to modern audiences the extreme hostility felt by the combatants in the earlier movies.     

中国古代女性出游行为特征新探

在中国旅游史研究中,女性旅游现象没有受到应有的重视,学者很少从性别角度来讨论男女两性旅游行为的差异.人们所说的旅游往往就是男性旅游,女性旅游行为较少受到关注和研究.而在现代女性旅游兴起并普遍化的背景下,从探究中国古代女性旅游行为特征入手,来研究中国女性旅游现象及其规律,为研究、发展女性旅游和大众旅游提供历史依据和理论支撑,是有重要学术价值的.本文通过如下两个方面的论述:一.官宦之家的女性依从主人而发生的旅游行为;二.乐妓依附于男性的游历,提出中国古代女性旅游行为的基本特征是对男性的依附性.同时,也论及女性旅游行为的其它次要特征.     

Images of Animated Others: The Orientalization of Disney's Cartoon Heroines From The Little Mermaid to The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Because of the success of the first six animated feature films produced in the "new era" of Disney animation (The Little Mermaid, 1989; Beauty and the Beast, 1991; Aladdin, 1993; The Lion King, 1994; Pocahontas, 1995; The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 1996) and their mass merchandising, Disney animated characters became ubiquitous for children of the 1990s. Although Bell, Haas, and Sells (1995) suggested that Disney films present a "sanitization of violence, sexuality, and political struggle concomitant with an erasure or repression of difference" (p. 7), an increasing emphasis on sexuality and the exotic is evident in the construction of the female heroines in these films, particularly in the female characters of color. This article analyzes what may be referred to in Said's (1978) terminology as the orientalization of women of color in five of these six Disney animated films and posits how these representations of gender and cultural difference operate within Disney's consumerist framework, which provides "dreams and products through forms of popular culture in which kids are willing to materially and emotionally invest" (Giroux, 1999, p. 89). Using a critical lens, I interrogate the unity of images regarding gender and race that these Disney texts offer and the ways in which these meanings operate within the larger socio-historical framework regarding women of color and the notion of Whiteness.
